Liz Truss has launched a charm offensive ahead of a meeting with Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday.
During the Tory leadership campaign, Ms Truss claimed the “jury is out” on whether the French President was Britain’s “friend or foe”.
But hours before she was due to meet Mr Macron, the Prime Minister resisted the urge to condemn the Elysee Palace over French authorities’ handling of the Channel migrant crisis.
